I don't know how I feel about Alexander at DE?

Just kidding, I actually like the idea of using him as an end. God knows he's not going to get much time at DT.

You kind of have a point though. We love players that play more than one position, but the problem is sometimes we force that on them vs them having that ability for us. Seems sometimes we think that if the position is the same or similar nothing else matters. Turning one type of RB into another, QB, LB, S, OL, DL, etc

He's a waste as a DE IMO. He'd be a slow DT playing on the edge where he'd likely generate little to know pass rush. And now that we're stacked at DT, there's no point to having him play there. Move him back to guard and give him a shot. He can't be any worse than Gesinger.
